10 More Star Wars Changes George Lucas Made That Were Completely Justified

10. CGI Yoda - The Phantom Menace

George Lucas' changes weren't just limited to the original trilogy - he's also gone back and made adjustments to the prequels on their more recent home video releases.

Case in point, The Phantom Menace's 2011 Blu-ray release saw the puppet version of Yoda replaced with a digital double.

While it's easy to appreciate why replacing the classic puppet with a CGI version would anger some fans given how egregiously - and, arguably, unnecessarily - Lucas has done this in the original trilogy, in this case it actually makes total sense.

As charming as the Yoda puppet might be in the original trilogy, it sticks out like a sore thumb amid the more obviously digital landscape of The Phantom Menace. Simply, it just doesn't look good at all.

The digital replacement actually looks terrifically detailed and makes these scenes feel more consistent with the CGI Yoda used throughout Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, so it's tough to get truly worked up about.

Digital Yoda may still be fairly divisive among fans, but this is a rare case where Lucas was absolutely right to ditch the rather janky-looking puppet.
